Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of control for an industrial robot, especially an advantageous control method used in industrial robots having attached thereto and using work tools having a plurality of work states (for example, a spray gun having a state in which it sprays paint and a state in which it does not spray paint).
  • work tools having a plurality of work states (for example, a spray gun having a state in which it sprays paint and a state in which it does not spray paint).
  • This type of industrial robot comprises a robot body which moves and operates work tools attached thereto and a control apparatus which controls the movement of the robot body and the work tools.
  • the automatic control exercised by this control apparatus is carried out based on an operational program stored in tile control apparatus, which is created by the teaching operation.
  • the data for the switching of the operation state of the work tool (for example, if the work tool is a paint gun, the data on whether or not paint is sprayed) are established, in the case of a PTP (point-to-point) teaching method, for each teaching point as the data in the operation program at the time of the instructed operation.
  • PTP point-to-point
  • the form of the data of a conventional operation program at the time when a spray gun 1 attached to a robot body 2 carries out the painting operation shown by path 4 with respect to work 3 is in the form shown in FIG. 6. That is to say, position data 5, which show the posture of the robot body at each point of teaching, transfer data 7, which show the transfer state to the next teaching point (the transfer speed, etc.), and movement data 6 of the work tool (for example, a spray gun) are established for each teaching point, and memory area is secured for the movement data 6 of the work tools at each teaching point as well.
  • the teaching operation is carried out by the successive storing of the characteristic points of the operational path by the operator. That is to say, the robot body 2 is operated manually, and point P1 is first instructed. Next, point S1, at which painting begins (spray gun is turned on), point S2, at which painting stops (spray gun is turned off), points P2 and P3, at which the path changes, points S3 and S4, at which the painting is turned on and off, point P4, at which the path changes, etc., which indicate the posture of the robot and the state of operation of the spray gun (that is, operation data 6), are instructed, and the operation program thus created.
  • the method of control of industrial robots of the present invention is a control method for industrial robots which transfers a work tool and switches the operation state of the work tool; it is characterized in that it teaches the first data, which determine the path of the robot, and the second data, which determine the position of the switching of the state of operation of the work tool in the path, and controls the operation of the work tool by means of the switching of the operational state of the work tool based on the second data during the operation, based on the first data, of the robot.
  • the second data are read out and a decision is made as to whether the operational state of the work tool should be switched or not, and the switching of the operational state of the work tool is carried out.
  • the number of data to be established as the data for the switching of the operational state of the work tool are limited to a number corresponding to the number of times the operational state of the work tool is switched, so that this represents an improvement.
  • the number of robot body position data are limited to a number corresponding to the number of times the path changes, so that this represents an improvement; in comparison with previous control methods in which teaching points, comprising both points at which the operational state of the work tool changed and points at which the path changed, were individually established, the memory area required for these data can be remarkably reduced.
  • the data for the control of the work tool are confirmed and the operational state of the work tool is switched at each sampling cycle for the purpose of the control of the robot body, so that it is possible to determine and finely control the operation of the work tool in the same way as the operation of the robot body.
  • the number of data to be established in the teaching operation is remarkably smaller than in conventional methods, so that the following effects are achieved.
  • the operation of the work tool can be determined and finely controlled in the same way as the operation of the robot body, so that the quality of the work is improved.
  • FIGS. 1 to 3 are diagrams showing a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 1 shows a painting robot in an operational state
  • FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b) are memory concept diagrams explaining the first and second data respectively.
  • FIG. 3 is a control PAD diagram of the time of the robot regeneration operation.
  • FIGS. 4(a) and 4(b) are diagrams for the explanation of another preferred embodiment of the present invention; they are memory concept diagrams for the explanation of the first and second data.

That is, it is possible to use an industrial robot with a method in which the operator operates the teaching box while watching the robot body, and while moving the robot body by manual operation, establishes various types of data in the control apparatus at fixed positions (fixed postures of the robot body), thereby creating a desired operational program within the memory of the control apparatus.

  • the robot is started in the teaching mode, attention is given solely to the movement of robot body 2 (the movement which moves spray gun 1 along path 4), robot body 2 is operated manually and the positional or transfer data corresponding to point P1 is taught, and then the points P2, P3, P4, . . . at which the path similarly changes are successively taught.
  • robot body 2 is moved along path 4 using the teaching mode time regeneration function, and operational data are taught at the positions S1, S2, S3, and S4, at which the operational state of the work tool is switched.
  • robot body 2 is moved manually and moved to point P1.
  • the forward movement key (a switch for the purpose of moving the robot body 2 in a forward direction by engaging the teaching mode time regeneration function) is depressed, and the robot body 2 moves from point P1 to point P2.

It is preferable that the forward movement key and the spray-on key be provided on the teaching box.
  • the forward movement key is depressed and the robot moved from point P1 to point P2, and when the position of the beginning of painting S1 is reached, the forward motion key is released and the spray-on key is depressed while the robot is stopped at the point S1.

In this way, robot body 2 moves smoothly along the taught path 4.
  • control of spray gun 1 checks, when the robot body is performing regeneration operations, the operational data of the spray gun shown in FIG. 2(b) at each sampling period; when time data 10 are in agreement with the present moment, a control signal corresponding to operational data 11 is outputted from the control apparatus to spray gun 1 or the mechanisms near spray gun 1, and the operational state of spray gun 1 thus switched.

After this, when the start of regeneration is directed and movement flag MF becomes "1", the interpolation points along path 4, which is made up of taught points determined by positional data 8, are successively calculated, a control signal corresponding to the positional data of these interpolation points is outputted at each sampling cycle, and robot body 2 moves smoothly along path 4.

  • the number of data set in the teaching operation are reduced, and there is no need to manually adjust the posture of robot body 2 while teaching the movement of spray gun 1 (as the movement data have already been created), so that along path 4 the on/off position of the spray alone can be considered.
  • the teaching operation becomes easy, and teaching can be accomplished in a short time.
  • the quality of the teaching program is increased.

For example, when the regeneration time is set at 60 sec, and the sampling cycle at 20 msec, the number of the data becomes 3000, and if, for example, the necessary amount of memory for one operational datum 16 is set at 2 bytes, 6000 bytes of memory will be necessary for operational data 16 alone.
  • the operation of the robot body is taught, and after this the robot body is operated and the teaching of operational data of spray gun 1 is carried out at positions where the spray is to be turned on and off.
